Hi everyone, new to vaping with possible allergy

[OhTheAgony]

Good advice, try unflavored in PG and see if you have a reaction. It could be the flavors as I can't vape Capella's.

Really? I'm sensitive to almost everything and there's no other flavoring out of the ones I've tried that agrees with me better than Capella.

ok so last night i put some juice on the inside bend of my arm, left it on all night and got nada... no redness, no rash, cant even see where i put it on, showed a friend who has been vaping for a few years and they said my VG is pretty thin and she wouldnt dilute it any... its 100% kosher food grade VG, and it contains 0% PG....so at this point im going to look into it being something else besides the vaping and that its just a coincidence that they happened at the same time, if i find out anything definite i will update and let you know, thanks again for all the imput

Not saying that's what you have, but I have a similar reaction to jeast myself. But in my case the rash appears on my hands and no where else.

Before my 30s I didn't have this problem so I guess you can develop it later on in life.

That is the thing with allergies, they are unique to that person and can also develop new ones. Each person is different.

Hi and Welcome!
I was also going to suggest the skin patch test, someone already did. (Obviously.. lol)
Maybe get some different ejuice from your friend and give that a try?.
Also "thin" VG and "food grade" are kind of setting my spidey senses tingling... Check your local drug stores. Most will carry a 100ml bottle of pure pharma grade VG (it's used as a skin conditioner, like aloe-vera) and is 99.7 to 100% pure. (usually 100%), Costs $3.99 here in Canada. (500ml is about $11.00-but i had to ask them to order it in). I'm just starting to make my own DIY 0mg nicotine ejuice. (being cheap, if i want nicotine, I'll buy unflavored juice with 18% or higher and mix that in to get my 3%.)

I've heard of a few people reacting to pg or vg, but never heard of it causing a rash, usually it's a slight irritation in the lung, but less irritation than smoking. I'm not saying it does not happen, just that I don't remember ever hearing about it.

I would suggest getting a Dr to check out that rash. Could be an allergy or could be a yeast infection. (yes, you can get them there, my wife has problems with that) I suggested boobie clamps and counter weights over her shoulders to hold things up to air out... but she veto'd that idea in a hurry. And swatted me, come to think of it.

Hope you get this sorted out.

True. Just curious but how do you respond to Flavor Art flavoring? That's the other brand I can use fairly save so I'm curious if you're sensitive to that one as well.

TPA was the worse I came across so that might just be your fav than, haha.

I can use everything but Capella LOL I use Flavour Art, Nature's Flavor's and Flavors West & TPA. One vendor that used Capella only I could not use their juice and it was delicous! and I tried Capella for DIY and could not use it either. Wierd! LOL

I was thinking maybe that to then a friend sent me information about a law suit where the high end bras i wear are being made in china and get sprayed with formaldehyde before being shipped over here... so for now those will be soaking in a vinegar bath while my sports bras take center stage, at this point im trying to just rule out things

 

[sucram]

all of these suggestions are correct and you are on the right path by systematically ruling out things. Keep at it, you will find your answer soon enough
